i am in the middle of installing a yamaha fzr 1000 engine to my locost i have it all bolted in to place now the problem i have noticed is that the sprocket has a cover over it that the clutch slave cylinder bolts to which is obviosly in line with the push rod but the engine wasnt designed for being placed into a car running a propshaft so this the problem it the sprocket sits underneath the slave cylinder so when i eventually get my sprocket to prop adaptorit will bolt in to place but i will not be able to mount the slave cylinder to the cover cause the prop will be in the way does any one know a way of getting round this or know anyonewho hasinstalled one of these engines ,, please help me !!!!

convert it to cable operation

cut the cover where the prop will fit, then if need be space the cylinder out and have a pushrod made as per standard plus the spacer length. seen it done on a blackbird engine and also a cbr1000rr.
